Merv Griffin - Complete Columbia Recordings

All 22 sides-plus an unreleased track-that Merv Griffin recorded for Columbia! Of course, fate had other things in store for Merv than being a pop singer, but this captures a pretty fair crooner on such songs as a Handful of Dreams; I'll Be There; the Story of Tina, and more.
